The Kremlin plans to consider a White House proposal for negotiations amid the escalating conflict in Ukraine.
In a telephone conversation between the United States and Russia, Joe Biden suggested that Vladimir Putin hold a summit. According to the press secretary of President Putin Dmitry Peskov, it is too early to discuss a possible meeting in detail, but Russia undoubtedly understands the importance of diplomatic relations between the countries. Held on Tuesday, April 13, the telephone conversation was the second between the leaders of the superpowers since January, when Joe Biden took office as President of the United States. Last month, Moscow recalled its ambassador from the United States for consultation in connection with an interview with Joe Biden, where he nodded when a journalist asked whether he considered President Putin to be an assassin. The White House press office said that during the conversation, Biden expressed his concern about the appearance of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine.
